Plant Overview
Astilbe Chin Color Flash
Astilbe chinensis 'Color Flash'
Astilbe 'Chin Color Flash' is a shade-tolerant herbaceous perennial. Extraordinarily colorful foliage that changes from bronze to red, gold, and green through the season — a primarily foliage-interest astilbe with the bonus of pink flower plumes in summer. Prefers moist, rich, well-drained soil in partial to full shade. Keep consistently moist — does not tolerate drought. Divide every 3–4 years to maintain vigor. A top choice for shaded borders, woodland gardens, and rain gardens where feathery plumes provide color and vertical interest through summer.
